Love doesn't fit a mold.

It's no secret that country artist Thomas Rhett and his wife Lauren are one of the cutest couples out there.

If you're not sure, just look at his Instagram.

They're obviously super cute and have an adorable family together. They're the ultimate #couplegoals.

With so many people looking for their own Thomas Rhett now, there seem to be "guidelines" set up on how to get a guy just like him.

Maybe you don't have one because you need to be a good girlfriend. Maybe you can't have one because you haven't found God.

Truthfully, no one should be telling you what you need to do to have a guy like Thomas Rhett.

When a girl says she wants "her Thomas Rhett," are we assuming she literally wants Thomas Rhett himself – which is understandable – or a guy who loves and cherishes as much as he does?

Girls should never feel like they need to be like another woman. Lauren Akins is her own woman. She is gorgeous and powerful, just like every other girl on this earth. She is passionate about and caring for her husband and family in her own way.

As long as a woman is able to show her love in her own way, she is fine. There's no need to compare someone's love to another's.

With that, a girl should never be told she can't have a loving relationship if she doesn't have one with God, because, newsflash, not every woman is a Christian. Not every woman has religious ties.

So many people base relationships and their strengths off of connections to a higher power. If that's something you believe in, it's perfectly fine, but others should not be expected to follow along if it's not who they are.

Women should not feel like they can't find a loving man if they're not cool with the big man upstairs.

Already, girls are expected to change themselves to have a perfect relationship, when, truthfully, it's on both parties.

If you are respectful, loving, and compassionate, you will find your own "Thomas Rhett." It is not on you to "be a better girlfriend" when you're the best you can be. I

t is not your responsibility to strengthen or create a relationship with God so you can have romance. It is your willingness to wait for and ultimately care for the man who will show you kindness and endearment the same way Thomas shows Lauren. It is two people who will bond in a way that is their own and fit together in a way no one else can.

It is love.

Never let your love fit a mold.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
